A Narrative Apparatus

Cataloging characters, frames, and scenes

The Gospels lays out Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John in a way
that is easy to read, to make their narrative force more immediate. The
Gospels, with a Narrative Apparatus has an opposite goal: to render the
narrative structure of the Gospels systematically and definitively, in both
print and digital editions.

The three primary prerequisite tasks apparent so far are:

Catalog, taxonomically, all of the characters.

Identify all of the different story frames.

Sequentially relate all of the verbs, according to a scale of space and
time, in order to determine the scenes.
